“To be honest, in my mind I never think that I’m doing it to change the game or something like that,” Chicharito told ESPN.

“The only thing in my mind is to do my best, to do the things the gaffer told me to do and help all my team-mates with the effort to comeback because we were down 2-0 and thankfully we won.”

The 24-year-old also hopes to be awarded his side's second goal and subsequently a hat-trick, despite the heavy deflection off Vlaar.

“Of course [I will claim it].” Chicharito said. "I think that I hit the target and then the defender touched the ball, but I don’t know that’s the decision of the referees.”

Chicharito went on to express delight with his third goal in particular, given it sealed the three points for the visitors.

“Sure, it’s really special. A wonderful cross from Robin van Persie, and thankfully I can get away from my defender and I head the ball and thankfully it goes in," he added.

“The most important thing is the three points, it doesn’t matter who scored the goals, who’s the man of the match, the most important thing is that Manchester United are top of the league and we came back from 2-0 down and it’s a good result.”
